Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrading To A New Motherboard
Nov 21, 2010
Recently my motherboard has been dying and the warentee is gone so I decieded it was upgrade time. I need to know if there is anything special I need to do for Ubuntu to work on my computer after the new hardware is installed. I currently have a 32 bit motherboard and processor and am switching over soon. GRUB 2 handles my boot and I know I have some extra stuff to do on windows 7 but I was wondering what I needed to do to get my computer to boot up after the upgrade.

I am planning to upgrade my system's motherboard tonight. I am going from a Via chipset and ATI graphics to Intel G41 chipset with onboard graphics. What do I need to do to Ubuntu in order to handle the upgrade? I'm running an updated version of 9.10.

Has anyone done a recent install of the latest Ubuntu on a EFI motherboard? Last time I tried (right as 11 came out) I had horrible graphic errors during the install, problems install grub2-efi, and then even when I got everything installed I had graphic errors on boot up that rendered the install worthless. I think I am going to have to go to a different linux distro, which I am not really that happy about, but I need linux on this computer. know experiences with ANY linux distro and recent EFI motherboard installs.

I reinstalled XP to do a dualboot with 10.10 yesterday. All was fine. Today I went through and installed everything windows needed, and everything seemed fine. Then I upgraded the BIOS on my motherboard, and suddenly everything isn't fine. I can boot to Ubuntu just fine. But when I select Windows from the GRUB menu, it just sits there with a cursor on the screen now.

I want to start using Ubuntu again but I gave up ages ago trying to get it to work with my Gigabyte EP45-DQ6 motherboard.I cant run from disc and I can't install.If I try to run it just takes me to a black screen with blinking cursor and that's all it does.If I try to install, basically the same.I can't get anywhere doing anything, so where do I start?How can I get it working on my system?By the way, this is with the latest Ubuntu.No, it's not a corrupt download or burn. I tried to download and burn, didn't work.I ordered a free cd, it did the same.This is an issue that is NOT related to the disc or the download of Ubuntu.

I just assembled a new computer with Intel Core I3 processor and Asus P8H67 motherboard and 4 MB of memory. It has a 2TB Hitachi Deskstar Hard Drive and Asus DVD. I am trying to load Ubuntu 10.10 directly (without first loading Windows) without success.
I have tried 4 separate downloads of Ubuntu - 64 bit, 32 bit with Desktop and Alternative. I have changed a variety of parameters and various tricks suggested on other threads. The Desktop (32 and 64) versions get me to Busybox shell with message (Initramfs) Unable to find a medium using live file system. The Alternative version hangs with the messages:
RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM image startgin at 0;
No filesystem could mount root, tried ext3, ext2, ext4, fuseblk;
Kernal panic - not syncing VHS;
Unable to mount root fs on unkown block(1,0).
For parameters I think have tried them all (but not in all combinations). I tried exiting twice from BusyBox as suggested on forums but that just hangs the system. I also turn off the quiet and splash to try and see what is going on....but it is too complex and goes to fast for me to follow.
A final suggestion was that the P8H67 is too new for Ubuntu 10.10 and to try the new version 11 coming out...I am new to Linux and reluctant to try a Beta

I got an Asus M3A78-T motherboard last year, along with a Phenom 9650 CPU and 2GB of RAM. I originally tried to install Sabayon, but it would occasionally hang while running. I decided to give Fedora another try (wasn't happy with FC4 a few years back) at the constant chiding of my friend.
My first try was with the x86_64 Fedora 10 ISO, using an IDE hard drive and CDROM. It would hang a little bit into something like 'copying system files, at the same place every time. Thinking it was a bad burn, bad iso, or something (checksum and image verification passed) I went ahead and got the DVD ISO. The DVD would always hang a little bit into "Formatting file system." At this point, I have tried EVERY other combination of hardware - swapped out ram, CPU, PS, bought SATA hard drive and DVDROm drive, unplugged the mouse, and even the case pigtails for USB and Firewire. It always hangs in the same place. Somewhere along the process, I took the motherboard back and exchanged it for a new one. Still fails, and in exactly the same place.
The system hang is a hard lockup. Mouse freezes, no keyboard activity (even LED status changes.) The drive activity LED will go out and the progress bar stops advancing.
I'm surprised I'm not seeing anyone else with this problem - I thought this board was a bit more prevalent, but I'm guessing not! What's my next step? I would create a bug report, but I don't know what subsystem is causing the hang. I suspect SATA drivers, but I'm not sure how to test that.
And one other clue - I get a scrambled video screen before it comes up to the first X install screen:
It only lasts for 5 seconds or so, then comes up okay.

I have installed Ubuntu 9.04
uname -r
2.6.28-11-generic
Checked cable/network with 386Box running Ubuntu 8.04 all OK. Could not get Realtek 8168 on mother board to work on Gigabyte H55M-S2H motherboard. I tried to install r8168 driver but no luck ... so I bought another Linux compatible card which turned out to be a RTL8139c (eth1) and the driver I am using on this is card is 8139too.
[Code]....
My preference would be to get the motherboard ethernet working but perhaps the card may be easier to get working. Anyway after searching the net for ideas and trying different things I've just about given up. I have reinstalled Ubuntu today so eth0 is back to using the r8169 driver. I'm no expert so my attempts at following other recipies have so far failed. From what I have read the 8139too driver should have worked with the RTL8139C chip so I have run out of ideas. I must be doing something wrong.

I changed my motherboard battery last night, and now get "Read Error" on booting to Ubuntu, on dual boot system. This is the most frustrating thing in an otherwise great operating system. It is the second time I have encountered this issue (last time was a change of power supply). I fixed it last time after three days of re-loading Grub2 and playing around Grub 2 updates, etc. Fixed it eventually, but as usual, no idea of what eventuality fixed it. I think I found a web page buried deep in the 'net, which talked about device.map. Do you think I can find it again - not yet - day 2 searching for the answer... This is what the grub script tells us:

My Windows Vista installation won't start after upgrading from Karmic to Lucid. If I select it on GRUB2, it leaves a blinking cursor on screen. And I tried doing the whole test disk thing and the boot info script. This is what my Results.txt file says

I've upgraded the generic kernel of my Xubuntu Karmic AMD64 persistent USB installation with the ubuntustudio realtime kernel (2.6.31.9.10). The thing is that the generic kernel is still loading as default and I don't have the option on the boot menu to choose the new one. I don't know how to edit this Grub2 version (grub-pc 1.97 beta 4).I haven't found a GUI package for this either.

I've had the 10.04 installed on a notebook for about a week now and I want to upgrade to the LTS that was released today. When I go to check updates it shows me that everything is already updated. How can this be? Is there another way to upgrade from RC to LTS that I don't know about?

I am upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10 Alpha 1. This is on my gaming machine so I can test it and if it screws my system up, I can reinstall. I have not seen any issues so far. I think there might be a thread already open for talking about 10.10 but I am creating this thread anyways.
The upgrade is going faster than when i first did the upgrade earlier this month.I am testing Ubuntu 10.10 on a computer with a 1.6Ghz AMD 64 processor.It has 3 GB ram and a 500GB hard drive. 128 MB video ram.
Note: This is The emachines EL 1200-06w I am using a Belkin wireless card which is only able to be used with the help of Windows Wireless Drivers (ndiswrapper).
I plan to report bugs in launchpad. Last time, Ubuntu could not start after an update. Now, I am risking down time by using the Alpha version again. I am installing by going to: Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal In Terminal, I enter in
Code:
sudo update-manager -d and then it asks for a password to open update manager. Then it shows the upgrade is available. I am still at the process of upgrading the computer. I am running Ubunut 10.04 32 bit at the moment.
UPDATE: I didn't need ndiswrapper, and I am able to now use Natty, where it works as it should.

Recently I wanted to install Ubuntu 10.04 from a CD which I had sent to me, but which I never actually used. So I put the CD in my laptop, used Wubi to install Lucid Lynx next to Windows in dual-boot, and restarted the laptop. Everything was OK. I noticed that the Update Manager didn't come up yet. I glanced at the notification area, and I wasn't connected to the Internet. So I entered wireless connection password and so Internet was back.I then opened Update Manager, changed release options to "Normal Releases" and was told of upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10. So I pressed the button, successfully updated and restarted. BUT, when Ubuntu tried to reboot, it gave a whole list of errors, and proceeded to shut down. Right now I'm manually downloading 10.10 64-bit, and Wubi. And I uninstalled previous installation. If this works, then great. But I still want to know, just out of interest, why the hell did it do that? Is there issues with the upgrade? Was there errors in my Ubuntu installation?

I have perfectly working Ubuntu 10.04 on my Dell Vostro 1500 laptop. But, yesterday I upgraded it to Ubuntu 10.10. There were various error messages during upgrade process, but it showed that I can continue without certain package. But, after restarting the laptop, I didn't found the new kernel entry in the GRUB. So, I continued with booting using older kernel version. It showed that ubuntu is booting but after sometime screen went totally blank. I even tried to boot into recovery mode, but faced same problem.
Then I booted with live CD, and chroot to the root folder of ubuntu on my HDD. After running command "dpkg --configure -a" I got error messages which are stored in attached file error-msg.txt.I cannot format the linux partition for a clean install. Please suggest solution for either recovery of 10.10 or restoration of 10.04.

I currently have Ubuntu 9.04 Installed and everything works perfectly. Its no longer allowing me to do the automatic updates saying my distribution version isnt supported anymore, and want to upgrade to 10.10.
When version 9.10 came out I upgraded through the Update Manager, and it screwed up the install and nothing worked. I ended up deleting everything and started from scratch. I dont want to go through that again.
I was wondering the easiest way to upgrade to version 10.10, because even the Update Manager only gives me the option to upgrade to version 9.10

I have what it may seem to most of you a nooby question but it is the first time for me that a new version of Ubuntu comes out, so I want to know if I will have to do a new "clean" installation of 11.04 when it's released or will it be some sort of upgrade from software center. If I have to do a new installation is there a way to reinstall all the programs I have all at once or maybe take a backup of them or will I have to install them all one by one?

Is it possible to accomplish this? Or do I have to install each subsequent version until I reach 11.1? When I run the update manager it never informs me of a new release.

While upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 using Alternate CD, the OS crashed. I had updated the 9.04 with latest updates and then started the upgradation to 9.10 using a Alternate CD. But after some time, the computer resarted and the screen displayed six line of 9.04 startup line. I waited for ten minutes but nothing happned.
What can be the reason and what should be done in that situation.
